The townspeople, once hopeful and awed by the presence of the Good Luck Woman, now stare at you with disbelief and disappointment. The overseer, his eyes filled with a mix of understanding and sorrow, nods slowly.
"As you wish," he murmurs, signaling the guards to escort you out of the kingdom's gates. The shining armor of the guards glints in the sun as they lead you away, the weight of your decision pressing heavily upon your shoulders.
As days turn to weeks, whispers circulate about the Good Luck Woman's fate. An assassin, fueled by envy and greed, seeks to seize her blessings for himself. Without your protection, she falls victim to his treachery, and her light is snuffed out.
The kingdom, once thriving under her blessings, begins to crumble. Crops wither, rivers dry up, and plagues run rampant. The once-prosperous kingdom becomes a place of despair and mourning, its inhabitants cursing the day the Good Luck Woman was taken from them.
Outside the walls, you wander aimlessly. The wildlands are treacherous, filled with predators and bandits. With each passing day, hunger gnaws at your belly and regret weighs down your heart. The haunting faces of the townspeople, the memory of the Good Luck Woman's radiant aura, and the overseer's final words replay in your mind, an incessant reminder of the life you left behind.
Seasons change, and your strength dwindles. The unforgiving landscape offers no respite, and each step becomes a monumental effort. Starvation, thirst, and exhaustion wear you down. One fateful day, as you trudge through a barren wasteland, your legs give out, and you collapse. As life ebbs from your weakened body, you clench the soil beneath your fingers, a lone tear escaping your eye.
"Why?" you whisper to the winds, your voice choked with sorrow and regret. "Why did I forsake my duty? Why did I abandon her?"
There is no answer, only the mournful howling of the wind. Your vision blurs, and darkness encroaches, taking with it the weight of your regrets and the memories of a kingdom lost. Your journey, marked by choices and consequences, ends in banishment and death.
BAD END
